If you are talking about WW2 cemeteries I would suggest Newhaven to Dieppe on DFDS ferries. If you call them and are over 60 you get a discount. From Dieppe it is an easy drive to Arromanche which would be a great starting point. They have aires/campsites and are well located for visits to many British and allied cemeteries, and lots of museums.ThankThank you everyone, we are a retired couple with a 7 mtr motorhome no pet,s . We would like to visit the war cemeteries to pay are respect,s . Then on down to Bordeaux, Spain Portugal maybe then up the South of Spain into Italy . Then heading back through Germany Luxembourg Belgium we have the full 90 day,s for are trip . All help hint,s most appreciated.
If it is your first of "many" trips to Europe you are overdoing it.Thank you Rosalan , this will be are lst European tour so will be totally flexible. Like you said it,s quality not quantity if we find it,s far to ambitious we will alter are plan,s accordingly. There,s always next time![]()

One way over (Caen) and one way back (Dover) would enable Arras and the Somme areas as well.Depends if you want to take in the Dunkirk area or the D Day stuff . They aren't that far apart but could influence the choice of crossing. From where you are I might suggest the Portsmouth Caen BF Route. Not the cheapest but gives you the chance to see sword beach and arromanche etc. Easy to move west into Brittany or go on sth into France.
Enjoy the trip

Verdun is a very good visit.One way over (Caen) and one way back (Dover) would enable Arras and the Somme areas as well.
Route has closed nowFrom past experience Hull Zeebrugge is a very expensive crossing.
From memory it was £500+ twenty odd years ago.....two of us in a car.

I was thinking thatProbably nearer to go to Ireland and sail from Rosslare direct to Spain.
If you want to visit war cemeteries, Dover tunnel or ferry jump on A16 and drive down west coast onto the Somme, after that Rouen Saumer Poitiers Bordeaux into Spain at Irun,ThankThank you everyone, we are a retired couple with a 7 mtr motorhome no pet,s .
